We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Development Process",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Enterprise cost management software introduced from
aPriori, which we summarised at the time by saying "Cost management software platform offers capabilities that provide real-time, predictive and precise product cost assessments throughout the development and delivery process".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Blow-moulded bottles extend shelf life from
RPC Containers: "A bottle is blow moulded in PP/EVOH/PP to provide long-term barrier protection for extended shelf life, with contact clear PP to help enhance product appearance on shelf".
In October 2007, we covered the news from CoCreate Software
concerning its OneSpace Suite PLM software
- take a look at PLM software cuts machine tool lead times
which says: "Austrian machine tool manufacturer repots that with its re cently installed PLM software, it has reduced lead-times - from order to delivery - from 12 months to eight months".
Take a look also at the news release from Delcam, Experiment on CAD data through the project,
as well as Forming to strength model reduces costs from Corus Automotive,
and Conduit system is a single piece fitting from Adaptaflex.
